Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers’ firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers’ separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on January 29, 2018 by a state workforce official on
behalf of workers of Infinite Computer Solutions, Inc., working
on-site and off-site at International Business Machines (IBM),
Phoenix, Arizona (“Infinite Computer Solution, Inc.”). The
workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
short-term IT staffing services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm and the petitioner, and the
workers’ firm’s major declining customer.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers’ firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of services supplied by Infinite Computer
Solution, Inc., have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of like or directly competitive with the services
supplied by Infinite Computer Solution, Inc., have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Infinite Computer Solution, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Infinite Computer
Solutions, Inc., working on-site and off-site at International
Business Machines (IBM), Phoenix, Arizona, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of short-term IT staffing
services meet the worker group certification criteria under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance
with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the
following certification:

“All workers of Infinite Computer Solutions, Inc., working
on-site and off-site at International Business Machines
(IBM), Phoenix, Arizona, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 20, 2016
through two years from the date of certification, and all
workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
through two years from the date of certification, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2
of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.”
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 22nd day of March 2018.
